Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states launched airstrikes against rebel forces in Yemen&#x92;s capital and across the country in defense of what Riyadh called the nation&#x92;s legitimate government. The attacks began Thursday morning, hours after Yemen&#x92;s president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, fled the southern port city of Aden by boat when Iranian-backed Houthi militants closed in. The decision by Saudi Arabia and the region&#x92;s Sunni monarchies to intervene on Mr. Hadi&#x92;s behalf raises the stakes in their rivalry with predominantly Shiite Iran, which has raged in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere in the region. The raids also risked further inflaming sectarian...The Wall Street Journalhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3272445/posts#commentThu, 26 Mar 2015 18:39:44 GMTKhamenei calls &#x91;Death to America&#x92; as Kerry hails progress on nuke dealhttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3270610/posts
